Do You Believe that Men are the WEAKER Sex?

[brave]

Both genders have weaknesses and both genders have stong attributes. Learn to identify and accept what they are. In that way we get along with one another.

I took the original post as tongue in cheek and it does not bother me. Can I just say that I have exchanged a number of platonic messages with chaychay over the months and have always found her to be an kind intelligent caring and thoughtful person.

Ironically I suspect that were ChayChay's future partner to get the dreaded 'man flu' her devotion would mean that she mothered him and cared for him to an extent that he would find difficult to reciprocate, thereby proving the stereotype.

Don't stop posting ChayChay. Thankfully I have reached that stage in life where I am laid back and relaxed and let others compete.

You took it as tongue in cheek but it was not meant to be that way and I did not see the initial post brimming with smilies, lols and j/k's as typical when it is just "tongue in cheek". You know her and had candid convos with her. Excellent. But that's the thing, YOU know her. Regardless what YOU know of her, when one can make such stark and generalized statements, that isn't meant to be a joke or sarcastic. I am not laughing and I can take a joke when I see one. That was not a joke. That was real. While none of that applies to me since I know who and what I am, as a man, it is insulting to me that this woman can be so judgmental of all men irregardless of her intentions, and act as if I am the one with the problem. If that is how it is, so be it. It's no wonder so many men choose not to settle anymore. When you got females like that, joking or not, who can say such things and act as if it is no big deal and even men who side with it, is it any wonder men today desire to be alone or play around as bachelors? At least that way, they care less what people like her have to say. She should be more careful how she articulates her points. She may be free to her opinion but her opinion is not fact and does not represent all women or a reflection of her bias on all men. And that was my point. Enjoy.

Hi - I am sorry you feel that way. I hope at some point you find peace. I will pray for you. Best wishes, Chas.

Peace can only be found in the Lord, may peace reign in each heart.

Well, as what the topic may implies..this article isn’t intended to slam men..rather this just based on my own observations and based from what my friends often tell me..and yeah, don’t ever think that I have that sort of relationship with many machos..this is just really based on my friends point of view and mine as well..

As you may experience or observed the women in general has a difficulty in demonstrating their physical strength compared to men.. but we certainly suck up pain better. Such as physical and emotional pain..I still remember when my grandfather got sick..I’ve seen my granny acting as his personal nurse..Coz men demand more attention and therefore need more work…Yet, when my granny got sick unless it’s something that she can’t move or whatever, that was the time when I see him attend to him seriously like what my granny did when he got sick..

This is all because men are takers and women are givers..do you agree to that?..
They think that the world revolves around them, and they expect others to understand this too. Their needs are paramount, and therefore, come before all others and worst is that they think that their way must surely be the best way. A really short way to sum this up in a nutshell is to call them what they are: selfish…I know, I know..not all of you are like this…maybe lets say their only 95%..do you think u fall on the 5%?..yes or no?

Well, how I wish there is someone who would create a pill to give a man a full blown case of PMS for one day. I'm sure it would not only give them new appreciation for what we suck up every month, but would also make them a little more empathetic the next time we complain about cramps, hormones, bloating, etc.

What about when it comes to attention?..Women can go days, weeks, months or even years without much attention. It is the husbands who often forget birthdays, anniversaries, don't show much interest in his wife's hobbies or work, etc. because he's too absorbed doing his own thing.

Now, what can you say about this all?..its for you to decide to answer the above question..

During Sunday School, I learned from my teacher that, we woman do not need someone to complete us. Instead, we are created to complete the man.

That is why, it is being emphasized during that sunday school that we women must complete ourselves in the Lord, and do not need someone to complete us. It is complicated sometimes. That means that, if we women always looking for someone to be with, then we must redirect our attention to the Lord.

I have heard someone said, "If he got divorced with his wife, he is afraid to be alone." He needed someone to fill or complete, in any way, as long as he has wife to be with. Now I understand men, therefore, if this is the case, all I can say is to find the woman who is really committed to marriage and will love you guy, without condition. A love that is pure and sincere, someone who will stick closer to you in bad times and in good times.

This is my opinion, though. Do you agree, guys?

That sounds good, Crisi, the woman completing the man. And the woman must be complete in the Lord. I have not been alone for 44 years except for short periods of time, the longest being almost a month, which was bearable for me. I would not want to live my life alone. My uncle was afraid his wife would die before him as she was in poor health, but she outlived him by several years! My ex sister-in-law's brother was healthy, so it appeared, and his wife had many health problems. He dropped dead on the golf course, but now after many years his wife is still alive!

Is it true that women can stand more pain than men are able to? I have heard that, and the justification is because of their child bearing ability. I have experienced pain before, but I have a high tolerance for pain. A supervisor on one of my past jobs accused me of lying, because I had a badly sprained ankle and I told him it didn't hurt. He was sure it hurt, because he told me if his ankle were sprained that way it would hurt. I went on a 10 mile hike in the mountains on that ankle, which maybe was not that smart, but I survived it okay. Climbing was easier than coming back down the hill. They insisted that I go see the doctor to make sure I did not have any broken bones, which thankfully, I didn't. It was like I got a paid vacation! I got a free ride out on the boat, 55 miles to civilization, then a free ride to the hospital to get checked out, and then a free stay in a motel! I went to the grocery store and bought bananas, chocolate bars, oranges, and milk. I had a good time! Why didn't I sprain my ankle more often?

No! men are strong. I cant carry the generator myself so im weak so i ask my husband to carry it for me. lol
Seriously, i salute men because they are God's first human specie created. They are strong coz they can hide the tears well. Women are emotional thus i think we are weak.

[red]

i can tolerate pain i mean super pain. when it comes to pain both sexes deal it uniquely so i think theres no weaker sex on that.

[Edwin]

I have always heard that women are not supposed to do heavy work as it might not be good for their bodies, but I don't know. I don't like to see women having to do very heavy work, as I think that is the man's job. God created us as emotional beings, and I don't think showing emotions is a sign of weakness! I think each sex has its own strengths and weaknesses, and that is okay.
